As a CF student, you also have access to 100 online databases connecting you to streaming video, millions of articles, and more than 40,000 eBooks.

Plagiarism can be deliberate or unintentional. Unintentional plagiarism due to confusion or lack of preparedness does not absolve you of your moral responsibility. The same sanctions apply to both an unintentional act of plagiarism and a deliberate one.

Copyright is a protection given to authors of creative works like images, music, movies and books. If you are using information that you did not write or create yourself, chances are good it is copyrighted. The unauthorized use of copyrighted material is considered infringement of copyright law and is illegal.

Fair use is an exception to copyright law that allows copyright-protected works to be used in certain circumstances without permission from the copyright holder. If you intend to use a copyrighted article, book, image or video, you will want your use to fall within fair use guidelines.

Before using a copyrighted work, begin to examine your circumstance by asking yourself questions like:

What is the purpose of my use? Is my use transformative? Is my use educational?

What is the nature of the work I want to use? Is it creative or factual? Published or unpublished?

How much of the work do I intend to use? Does the portion I want to use make up the "soul" of the work?
